I like the monster, and it is cool how you did the code from actual scratch.

yeah looks cool! :D

The evil laugh was great, even though I can't rate yours for the audio.

One can only wonder where all those children go after I touch them... My belly? The waking world? The deepest, darkest pits of Mexico? A white van? Some mysteries might never be solved.

Hitbox was very small, kind of difficult to get used to. I liked how the enemy AI would run away from you. My final score was 1250.

I really like the monster. the hitboxes are a bit small so it's hard to catch the childerns

Reminds me of Zombies Ate My Neighbors. I liked the speed of the monsters, would be cool if he had an attack to slow down and stop the kids.

5 on the theme :)
Java devs will actuall see the amount of efford put into the code. Nice work keep it up!

Unfortunately it doesn't work on Ubuntu Linux 64bit Openjdk 1.8.0 :(

Monster vs children hitbox is a bit too small.

Not a lot to say about this one. I found the monster sprite quite charming.

1st Thought:
Perfect use of theme!

Pros:
#datmusicthough
If the art were done in a darker style, this game would legit creep me out haha.
Controls felt good, monster speed vs children speed was perfect.

Cons:
The plain blue background. It kind of took away from the game I felt.

Overall:
Nice simple game. Good job

The sprites were nice, even if the animation lacked a little bit. The background tiles were well done but even so the background seemed a little dull. Transition tiles between terrain types make a huge improvement in disguising the "grid".

A word of advice from a fellow Java developer: Making everything from scratch is a good learning experience, and using external libraries may be bothersome. But for making games, especially when time constrained, it can be extremely useful to use a framework or an engine.
Take a look at LibGDX, it helped me a whole lot!

Score 1150.
Indeed small hitbox, but that makes for those situations where you run around a kid to grab him!
Pretty fun.
